Username Changes
Posted: Mon Jun 06, 2011 2:36 pm
Want to let folks know, usernames can easily be changed should someone decide after joining they want to use a different name. While I am not keen to everyone changing their name I certainly understand how things grow and change. Anon was nice enough to change my nick on BYMC for me at one time.
Generally spelling corrections, capitalization things like that are cool because they dont screw people up as far as remembering who is who. Also many people want anonymity when signing up on a forum then become comfortable and decide they want to use their name, generally people will likely know who it is because they have been signing their name to their posts. Conversely someone might use more of their name than they are later comfortable with and want it truncated.
Changing a name is easy enough so I dont mind doing it but in the interest of continuity on the forum be sure the new name is the one you want to keep if the request is made.

I use Nudge for everything... even when playing online games with my mates. 
Now people are going to be asking where do you change your name? Actually this forum can allow that but I would not have it enabled on the board for members because it would be way too confusing.
